Have you always loved the look of knit hats? Then this crochet hat pattern is for you. A simple variation of regular half double crochet stitch will give you this knit or tunisian crochet look. Using a smooth yarn will give you a knit look while using a regular one will give you a tunisian crochet look. The single ply smooth green yarn I used in the sample was Stitch Nations Full O' Sheep. It was discontinued but you can find it on Ebay. I got the purple and grey yarn from a local yarn store. Lion Brand Landscapes yarn or Bernat Sheepish could be good substitutes. You can even use the regular yarns available but it would look more tunisian than knit like the cream hat above.

*Suggested Yarns: The yarn I used is Stitch Nations Full O' Sheep, a single ply yarn with a smooth texture. It is available on Ebay and Amazon. Lion Brand Landscapes yarn could be a good substitute. Using a regular yarn like Vanna's choice would give a Tunisian crochet look like the cream hat.

I love how this hat turned out. I am head over heels in love with the stitch pattern as well as the little details that make this hat oh so classy. I ordered a bunch of metal buttons to use with my projects and I couldn't be more happy. The hats look adorable on the little models and I am sure you will love it too. You can stop at the brim and keep it as a Beanie or add the visor and turn it into a Newsboy hat. The Newsboy is my personal favorite and I think it looks very elegant. The fluorescent orange hat was made by my 10 year old and she was elated to see it modeled. Her work is so neat, I am a proud mama. Another designer in the family, may be :).

* The pattern includes hats in sizes 6-12 months. 1-3 years, 3-10 years and Preteen to Woman

I just love the way this turned out and wanted to call it " Divine Ear warmer" as it looks sooooo..... pristine in pure white. But of course you are free to make it in the colors of your choice. You need to know only basic and I repeat basic crochet stitches for this one. No fancy bobble, popcorn stitches for this one. A very beginner pattern that works up quickly. The flower is not worked in the round which makes it super easy for anyone. It is worked flat and rolled into shape.The band has 2 buttonholes making it completely adjustable to fit any woman's head. Moreover this makes a great scrap project requiring only around 130 yards of yarn. So go for it!

Pattern uses worsted weight yarn and size H (5 mm) Hook. There are lots of pictures to guide you through every step.

I had in fact designed this mittens last Fall, but never found the time to test and write the final draft. Well, I am so glad I published it now. This is my first time using the Red Heart Boutique unforgettable yarn and I absolutely love it. You could make almost 2 pairs using a skein and they come in a lot of attractive colorways. I will definitely be using more of this yarn in the future. If any of you make this mittens, please share a picture with me. Since the yarn is so gorgeous I decided to name the pattern after the yarn itself. The yarn has a shiny smooth texture which is not captured in the photographs. The pattern is written to make a pair of seamless gloves. I hope you will give this lovely pattern a try.

I have had several requests for my booties patterns in bigger sizes. Though my hats run up to all the sizes, this is my first Toddler booties or boots pattern. I really enjoyed working on them as the details are so easy to add on a bigger shoe unlike the baby ones which can easily look overdone. I chose all the neutral shades, what colors would you like to make them in?

* The pattern is worked with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn held together and an H hook. The furry border is made with "Fun Fur" from Lion brand.

This would be my first pattern with cables but I am sure it won't be my last. I enjoyed working the texture so much I will definitely be incorporating more cables in to my designs. Crochet cables are elevated stitches that look twisted. Though it looks complicated, it is fairly easy to work once you figure out how to work a front post stitch. To see if this pattern is right for you, see my tutorial on front post and back post double crochet here: How to Work Front Post and Back Post Double Crochet. This particular design uses front post triple crochet which is worked in the same way as a front post double crochet and is far easier than a back post stitch. Though the crochet pattern looks best in woman's size, I have also included baby and child sizes. When you make a slouch hat it is important not to pick stiff yarns as your hat needs to have some drape. I used Vanna's choice for the yellow and grey hats. A light color would make the cables stand out more as opposed to a dark one.

Slouchy hats always look great with a long coat and boots. So add another one to your wardrobe using this very lady like pattern. This one is worked with a worsted weight yarn which comes in a multitude of colors. The thickness of the yarn will ensure that you are finished in no time. Make it today and wear it tomorrow!

* Pattern is written in Standard American Terms.
* Pattern includes sizes 3 months to Woman
* Pattern uses a G (4.25mm) hook and worsted weight yarn
* Pattern includes a tutorial on how to work a front post triple stitch

I had got several requests for hat patterns last winter but never really got the time to design anything other than booties. My dream is to ultimately have all types of patterns for babies, be it booties, hats ,dresses, bibs or blankets. This is one more step in that direction and I had to try really hard to step out of my comfort zone of designing and photographing booties. I figured that photographing dark colors like brown can be as tricky as white but believe me if you ask me my favorite among the two above, the brown one wins hands down. The picture fails to capture its real beauty.This beanie has a nice lacy texture with the gaps kept small. It should be perfect for the not so cold weather. The pattern comes in all sizes from newborn to adult. So you can make it for all the girls and ladies in your family! It works up really quick and is suited for all levels of expertise. The ruffly nature of the flower makes it stand out even with a single layer of petals.

Pattern uses Hooks G ( 4.25mm) for size 6-12 months and Hook H (5mm) for all the other sizes . It is written in standard American terms. Pattern includes all sizes from newborn to adult. Hat is worked using Wortsed weight/ Aran (Size 4 Medium) yarn. Stitches used are single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and slip stitch. If you are making it for your baby, make a matching pair of boots with my "Boots for Girls" pattern found here:http://crochetdreamz.blogspot.com/2010/12/boots-for-girls-pdf-pattern-for-sale.html

Ear Flap hats are a must have winter accessory. This crochet pattern makes a fun textured hat which is as comfortable as it is stylish. You can make the body of the hat a single color or two colors like the blue one pictured. How to change colors seamlessly and how to make pom poms are all included in the pattern. The hat has a slight slouch to it and comes in multiple sizes. The samples were worked mostly with Lionbrand Heartland yarn which has good drape for a worsted weight yarn which is essential for a slouchy hat. I find slouchy hats that stick up way too funny. Agree?

The pattern includes pictures to explain how to change colors and make the pom poms.

*Pattern is a 2 Round repeat that can be mastered easily. It uses front post single crochet and a picture tutorial is included for the stitch.
